The Democrats don’t need the Republicans for any of this. What they don’t want is to be sitting ducks when this all goes south and doesn’t help the economy and the RNC has the supreme talking point “Republicans wanted to put money directly into the pocket of the American taxpayer; the Democrats wanted to pick that pocket and put money everywhere else.” If they don’t have Republican votes, they can’t try reverse finger pointing.
I hope they stand firm. New Democrat senators from usually conservative districts may want to think twice before voting for this. You may have a six-year term, but we have the “memory of an elephant.”
I know they have enough votes to pass what-ever they want to on the floor(and why they are doing this bi-partisan scam)....I was asking about committees that vote on these bills before they go to the floor?
Am I right that the dems also don’t need any republican votes to get things out of these committees as well?
Just looking for clarification on committees?
Dittos on the standing firm! We need to burn up their phone lines Monday morning and the fax lines through the week-end.
